Apologies for the delayed return; we've been inundated with family activities.

My wife simply shrugged it off and walked toward security/immigration while I attempted to speak with an agent who appeared to oversee the checkin area. After waiting about a minute for her to finish her walkie talkie conversation (without once acknowledging my presence) she listened to my quick review, smirked, said something inaudible and walked toward the counters. At this point I dropped it.

Drinks were only offered from the cart by this crew as well.

You get a drink quicker in Y.
This is typically my biggest gripe; upon takeoff that salt and preservative laden snack package is not my first desire.

I agree my experience is not the norm but I found it rather annoying all the same. At least we laughed when remembering a flight from a few years ago with an equally deficient crew: my wife was told quite perjoratively, when she asked for mama, 'I'm sorry, we only have that on big planes' (we were on a 772).
